Backdrop of Faith amid the Scourge of Covid- 19 Pandemic in Christian worship: Nigeria
Abstract

In the early Months of the year 2020, the wave of Covid-19 pandemic was strange to Nigerians. Covid-19 is a virus that originated from India in 2019. It was rapidly spreading globally. The most affected areas were: China, Europe, Israel, and United State of America, India and the Arab States. The outlook of its surge was lesser in some African countries especially Nigeria. The Federal Government of Nigeria quickly arrested the spread of the pandemic virus through practical measures such as: avoidance of public gathering, social distance keeping, wearing of Nose Mask, and washing of hands and use of hand sanitizer. Public worship in Churches was prohibited. Invariably Christians tend to be worshipping God at their homes due to fear of contacting the virus. This paper intends to investigate the backdrop of Christian faith amid the scourge of Covid-19 in Christian Worship in Nigeria. It would evaluate the extent the Christians demonstrated their faith amidst the stillness of the world due to pandemic of Covid-19 spread of virus. To delve into this qualitative descriptive research, I will utilize the methods of observation and structured interview with related Christian worshipers in Nigeria. The paper proffers validation of demonstrated Christian faith. It encourages Christians who are weak in their faith not to be discouraged but be firm in professing their faith in Christ. Covid-19 is to be accepted in faith. It has surfaced like any other virus like HIV AIDS and cancer which Christians must accept in faith.
